I am originally from Miami, Florida and moved to the Triad in 2001 with my husband, daughter, and parents. I've been teaching middle school in High Point, NC for the last 15 years. Kisses4Kate Kate came out of a need while my God daughter Kate was in treatment for cancer. It started as a promise to her, has continued in her memory to help others in the same situation. God continues to bless me everyday through the children that we help and the volunteers that make it all happen.

My husband and I moved from Roanoke, VA to the Winston Salem area in 1998. Today, I am blessed to be a very busy stay-at-home mom to our 3 daughters. It is a privilege for me to be a part of making a difference for families facing childhood cancer.

I am the mother of 3 kids and grandmother of 8 they call me Muma and they hold my heart. I am from Illinois and moved to North Carolina in 1987. Kat called me and asked if I knew anyone who could help her put the website together. I said I could. I finished the design Kat started and we launched the website. The next thing I knew, a new non-profit to help children with cancer and their families was founded.

I was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to North Carolina as a teenager. I now live in Thomasville with my husband Charlie and my 3 kids, Raymond, Mathew and Katie. I have been a Director with Thirty One Gifts since 2010. I can truly say since I became part of Kisses4Kate, I have learned the true meaning of generosity. A lesson I hope to pass on to my children.

A Chance in the making is what I describe my evening walk through out neighborhood. Little did I know my life would forever be changed when I encountered Kayte Oliver. She very graciously introduced herself and her family and began telling me about herself and her passion for her work with Kisses4Kate. .

I was born in Essex, England and have lived in several different places such as, Holland, Scotland, Iran and Canada. I settled in High Point, NC when I was in my late 20's. I have three amazing boys and work at Ledford Middle School with Exceptionally Challenge children. I love what I do so much. Cancer runs in my family and is such an awful disease. I wanted to be a part of something very special and feel Kisses4Kate is an amazing organization. I'm very proud to be a part of it.

I am originally from Rhode Island and hen moved to Virgina for college. I moved to North Carolina in 2005 and have loved living in the Triad ever since! I have been Operations Manager and on air with Dick Broadcasting who owns 1075KZL and Rock 92 since 2005. I am honored to be involved with Kisses4Kate and was intoduced to the organization after 1075KZL embraced Olivia Dunn and her story. .
